Thomas Fogarty Winery Description
In 1976 Dr Thomas Fogarty, a practicing heart surgeon and noted inventor of medical devices decided that he would dedicate his approximately 350 acres in the north end of the Santa Cruz Mountains to open space. For inclusion in the “Williamson Act”, the property would need an active agricultural purpose. The idea appealed to Dr Fogarty, but he was undecided as to what types of crops he would cultivate. Initially, Dr Fogarty considered planting the entire property to Kiwi fruit, but thankfully he reconsidered after a few fellow Stanford physicians introduced him to the wines of Burgundy and local producers David Bruce, Mount Eden and Ridge.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Deerheart Vineyard handled the challenges of the vintage exceptionally well. It opens with its characteristically dark, brooding and savory bouquet, followed by a rich, dense palate that admirably retains a sense of focus, cut and clarity. The finish recalls the cake-like density and savory notes of the bouquet, framed by refined tannins. This is a resounding success from an increasingly exciting vineyard source.
